I am printing reformatted data to a temp file. I then would like to open that temp file, alter the data in some lines and then save all the data to another file. I am unable to get data in 2nd file when I save. Code used is: open(INPUT, $ifile) or die("Can't open the input file $ifile$!\n"); open(OUTPUT, $outfile) or .....## temp file print OUTPUT $OVR_Record."\n"; open(INPUT2, $outfile)or die....; open(OUTPUT1, $outfile1) or die....; while ($baanfile = <INPUT2> ) I am altering lines in the $outfile.

Then I am doing: print (OUTPUT1 $baanfile.\n"); I am getting no data in the 2nd file. What am I doing wrong. It is driving me nuts!
